  1. I really like the current crop Mandarin oranges from California. Not the ones from anywhere else that they sell.

    Plain…peanut…or both?

    Dinner 2023

    I did cut out the back, @rotuts, and then pressed down on the keel to open up the chicken. Used the back and other bits and pieces and made a small amount of stock.
  4. I'm pretty sure theyll make whatever size you want... That said, I own a Brooklyn Butcher Blocks' board and a Boardsmith Board (purchased at least ten years ago). Both good, and I'd say neither one better than the other. In my case, they're just different sizes.

    Dinner 2023

    While I might need a food stylist... and while this sheet pan is going back into the oven for another 20 minutes (after which I failed to take a picture, as I was much more intent on trying a wing), this Snowdance Farms heritage chicken was one of the best I've cooked at home. That includes Joyce Farms, as well as a fresh-killed sasso from LaPera Brothers Poultry, in Brooklyn. Great, crisp skin, juicy and flavorful breast. Oh, smushing an herb-infused duck fat/butter combo under the skin doesn't hurt either. It's a top 3. The back, wing tips, drumstick ends, neck and gizzard were all used to make a little stock...nothing wasted! Earlier this week (and late last): At Cervo's, dining solo: fried rock shrimp, over marinated potatoes, with some horseradish grated on top. Very good. Also had rice with razor clams. And at Cafe Katja, not dining solo: Smoked pork sholder, sauerkraut, spätzle.
  6. CSO on warm function, or if it's being used for cooking, plates atop.
  7. This is what I'd do as well; you'll have more cooked beef at the ends, and rarer in the middle anyway. Keep everyone happy. Or as happy as everyone can be.
  8. After I broke my Hario ceramic, along with however many other pour-over units I had which were not made of stainless or plastic, I decided never again for anything breakable.
  9. Anyone who pays $70 for that ellow pour-over dripper is insane. And the Aspen, at $45, is borderline, but if it makes you happy, that saves you money for the psychotropic drugs you'd otherwise need.
  10. To get to what temperature? Are you pasteurizing the meat?
  11. John's obit in the NY Times...unpaywalled click.
  12. Before or after they’ve been used in treatment?
  13. Thanks, @EnriqueB...we really like your city, and are looking forward to another visit.

    Dinner 2023

    Greek style fisherman's stew. Leeks, onions, potatoes, shallots, garlic, celery, red pepper, carrots, lemon, lemon zest, Greek oregano. Fish added at the end - wild Alaskan halibut and wild striped bass. Last night's Hanukkah Rigatoni Amatriciana. (Almost Roscioli style, but with less cheese).
  15. Make your brother-in-law's life easier with these (eG-friendly Amazon.com link)... Better than what's in most cans, no openers needed.
  16. You know what might be life changing? Having the dish, prepared for you, at a restaurant overlooking the Amalfi Coast.
  17. Timely, as I just pulled a nice shot with my Breville Infuser and George Howell's Alchemy beans, roasted 5 days ago. Since I hadn't used the machine in a while, and certainly not since replacing the burrs on Rocky, it took 2 lousy shots before a fully drinkable one. But that's all part of the fun!
  18. When I mean by one and done is that I'll never go back to the Wegmans. Once was enough, and now I'm done. I prefer shopping at all the different vendors, and spreading the joy around.
  19. Those won't necessarily fit in a V60. @JoNorvelleWalker = you want the same size as your V60 dripper, no? I buy bleached...and I've never had to choose between tabbed or untabbed... Since this is my 10th package out of 10, time to reorder! I don't pay more than $.04 or $.05 per filter.
  20. It is of no use to me, really. Unless I am desiring some fish from Japan. I'll take my local, hipster butcher over Wegmans. This, too, is a double decker store. Produce sections rarely impress me; I'll continue to use the farmer's market (though yesterday you could sense the end of everything except root vegetables), Essex Market and Union Market (which carries a lot of the bitter greens I like). So basically, one and done for me.
  21. For quite some time now, I've only used the real deal V60s or Kalitta filters. I've tried any number of "alternative" filters to brew pour overs, none of which I find satisfactory.
